Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 02, 20261. Introduction
Welcome to StudyMate AI. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our web application and services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us when you create an account or use our platform:
- Personal Information: Name, email address, and login credentials provided during signup/login via email or third-party providers like Google.
- Usage Data: Information about your interactions with StudyMate AI, including chat history, study habits, and feature preferences.
- Device and Browser Info: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and operating system information for security and optimization.
3. How We Use Data
We use your information for various purposes, including:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our StudyMate AI services.
- To personalize your study experience and remember your preferences.
- To communicate with you regarding your account, updates, and support.
- To monitor and analyze trends and usage to better understand student needs.
- To ensure the security and integrity of our platform.
4. AI-Related Data Usage
As an AI-powered assistant, StudyMate AI processes the inputs (questions, notes, text) that you provide to generate responses. Please be aware of the following:
- External Processing: Your inputs are processed through third-party AI APIs (such as OpenRouter or direct LLM providers). While we strive to anonymize data, the content you type may be transmitted to these services to fulfill your request.
- Non-Training Clause: We prioritize providers that do not use your personal data to train their models without explicit consent, but you should avoid sharing highly sensitive or private personal information within the AI chat interface.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies and similar tracking technologies to handle authentication (via Firebase) and maintain your session. These technologies allow us to recognize you as a logged-in user and keep your data secure. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though some features of StudyMate AI may not function correctly without them.
6. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with trusted third-party services essential for our operations:
- Firebase (Google): For user authentication, database management, and hosting.
- OpenRouter / AI Providers: For processing AI requests and generating study assistance.
- Analytics: Basic telemetry to understand app performance (optional).
7. Data Security and Retention
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with services or as required by law. You may request account deletion at any time through our settings or by contacting us.
8. User Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can manage most of these directly through your account settings in StudyMate AI.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for a global audience of students. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction) without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
